Writing for the Medal of Excellence
Writing for the Medal of Excellence
What is Bush 602-600: Writing for the Medal of Excellence? This course, offered in the fall semester only, is designed to help both first- and second-year students work toward the Medal of Excellence while enhancing their writing skills. Students in the course meet in-person each Thursday from 4:40 p.m. to 5:40 p.m. in the Allen building. This is a zero-credit course, meaning that the course title and grade earned by the student appears on the student's transcript, but the course does not count toward the hours needed for the student's degree plan. The course is offered at no additional cost to the student. Students may enroll in the course through Howdy.
